yes its so unfortunate that we aren't taught how to maneuver that type of money at a young age. the kardashians literally created a church (with no actual building) in order for Kim to basically "donate" 10% of her earning to a church "as charity" meanwhile she and her mom owned the church and the church has 1,000 yearly membership fee. scammers of the century lol but I guess thats how it works you gotta scam the gov. get paid through your "company" start a "church" etc...

@@ValentinoQ are you serious...I had no idea about that!!!! Smdh

@@ValentinoQ sodo

yes I am so glad she did because I did not know they pay that much out in taxes and everything else. and shees been in the business for a while and im sure she gotten million dollar checks by now So Im sure her math is accurate on how much they take with all the checks shes gotten .

@@alexpress5375 Look up "John Oliver Televangelist" here on youtube. Watch that entire episode. He breaks down what Valentino is saying. It is ridiculously easy to start a church as a tax haven. And when people like the Kardashians donate to their "church" two things happen: 1) They get to write off that 10% on their taxes at the end of the year; and, 2) ALL the money received at their fake "church" is NOT Taxed. So this means WE, the real taxpayers, are sending refunds from Our money to Their butt injection bank accounts.

I can just imagine her family and friends trying to leech off her after hearing the bag she collected. Good to know she's smart with it and has her priorities straight.

She is being PAID what she negotiates.

@@winstonsmith6166 in an industry where black women are not seen as worthy to be paid the same as their white women peers, there's not much you can negotiate without the executive or studio to switch you with another actor Use that argument when white male actors are complaining about salary

Absolutely 💯

Racism tbh🗣💯

I agree, sisters giving others props!

That’s why I don’t agree w/ the saying pay me what I’m worth. Bc you can’t put no price behind our value. One person might earn $10 an hour, say pay me what I’m worth fighting for a $3 increase only to be under the illusion that, that is their worth when in reality in ain’t no dollar that can truly pay for the worth and value of our lives and who we are.

Poor Rod, always the victim.

Like Benjamin button? I see what you did there

Facts. Helps to dispel assumptions, wish more would be as open

💯🤣

Hey Jillian. How are you? And yes they are!

Is that irony?

Idk because I had to search on line when and where they were coming on. In NY they use to come on ch 5 at 11:00 am right after Wendy williams.. Now they come on Ch 9 at 5PM !

Baby they got canceled ….

Yes the wig look nice😆

@@humptydance7498 lets not be an asshole early this morning ok smh

I thought the same with TLC when she was breaking it down.

I don't think her numbers are correct. The highest tax bracket is 37% (assuming she made more than $518k that year). It's also very rare to pay both an agent AND a manager. If we assume that she got the job through a manager, his/her cut would be 15% and then an entertainment attorney would be 5%. So... you would subtract $55,500 for taxes (max), $22,500 for the manager, and $7500 for the attorney. So that would actually leave her with $64,500. However, she would be able to write off a shitload of things. I've written in Hollywood before and I could write off a percentage of many expenses including rent and utilities. If her tax guy is even halfway decent, he should have cut her tax liability down by a third or maybe half of that $150k.

Uh, no. They tax base off of a certain amount, rich people are not just in one bracket. They have income tiers and each tier is taxed at a certain amount. How do you know that you don't have to pay a manager and agent??

And every agency charges differently. And you are assuming she has things to write off, which she obviously didn't.

@@billybatson7852 it is not very rare to pay both manager and agent. Maybe you are referring to music industry but your manager gets paid regardless because they are with you long term including your developmental stage usually while agents are usually switched over the growth of your career. 10-20% agent usually at least 15% for manager. Publicist could be 3k a month. Could have a stylist. Retainer and/or percentage for lawyer. Life expenses including who in her family she is now taking care of. Also just productions you are independently contracted not employee. And I'm curious does that 37% include the social security and medical tax?

We don’t often realize it but as with any business the people actually making the big chunk of the money are at the top and “the artists/athletes/faces we see are actually the product that everyone else makes money off of not the big money players

Exactly!

This is exactly what I thought about

Black people need therapy!!! From Taraji to Michaela Coel, Monique was right about the pay inequality. We gotta support Black women for real.

Yeah ppl slowly get to realize that Monique was right!!

Been believed Monique!!!! It’s black folks who don’t stand and fight for one another too busy trying get in where they fit In

@@shaylovli Nope. Too busy with that crab mentality; pulling others down thinking it's the best way to climb up. If we would just latch on to each other, we can all get out the pot together.

If they don’t like what they r being paid do something else or don’t take the job…. This is how the fucking world works… u get what you earn

I didn’t even really clock this till you pointed it out! Great catch!

Respect!!!

Well, she would've had other money coming in for other projects she did that year. If not, then her tax liability would only have been 22%. There's no way she only had $30k left... taxes would max out at 37% and then a manager is 15% and an attorney is 5%. Plus, if her accountant is halfway decent, she would have written off a ton of expenses.

@@billybatson7852 Glad you know what she paid out better than her. So pleased you know what she wrote off and although she said her team was 30% glad you corrected her because you know for a fact it was only 15% . I just have 1 question, what Attorney you know that works for 5%? Hook me up.

@@billybatson7852You are correct, she was in several projects during this time frame and I don't think her point was to decieve us into thinking this was her only income that year. She was simply demonstrating how Benjamin Button, despite the successful film it was and what she brought to the film (her performance was nominated for an Oscar), when it was all said and done it really only paid her son's tuition for one year. Taraji's example here seems to be indicative of what women, and particularly women of color, have been saying for years regarding their lack of pay and appreciation in the industry compared to their counterparts. I think it's about time we listen and, maybe even, believe them.

@@SPChannel722I think there is a whole other side we are not talking about here. Up until that point before Benjamin Button what massive movie did was sue the Star in that made a lot of money? She really had tiny small parts in movies and the two movies she was known for at that time where more cultural movies with baby boy and hustle and flow. So being cast and paid what she was for a movie staring Brad Pitt was acting probably what her worth was at that time. She was a supporting character most likely third billing in the film. The movie cost 167M to make add another 70M to market and promote. As good as the movie was it only made 337M but you subtract the spending then you actually only made less the 90M. I do believe she is a good actress I enjoy her but she also let herself get type casted a lot. That hurts your value because I think it hinders her range.

EX👏AC👏TLY 👏!!

Oh the same Steve Harvey who backstabbed the late and great Bernie Mac for a movie. Phony as they come. Not all skin folk are kin folk as they say.

Her delivery is what broke her success. You have to be humble when you know you're already dealing with evil people

I agree she has been saying this for years And I was surprised people didn't see this

Yes they are doing it and I am loving it

Same

I was scared of it too. I was tired of seeing them cry every 2 minutes. It was wild annoying

Another thing these ladies are near 40, in their 40s and 50s. The audience has also grown up no more silly childish topics.

Look at the role she took

Pretty sure now she does get more

Yeah i feel like Black women is so underpaid especially in the filming industry

You get what you earn no more no less.. if she’s not happy with her pay do something else.. Jesus people r so weak n such fucking crybabies.. always feeling sorry for themselves

@@TheSands83 also not just black women but women in general tend to just take what they are offered. Never counter back

Yes mi need part 2

Which state

Right she only get 20 percentage of 150,000

Bingo! Teachers too for that matter.

Of course she's articulate

She get approximately 1.6M the 30% is off the 8M which is (2.4M). Uncle Sam takes 4M and her team takes 2.4M.

@@carolannc2336 ...Damn she left with the little end of the stick🤣💯

@@rodtherichest6018 that’s why you have to have a good team to keep them checks coming and to make sure you’re getting paid properly

Yup institutional racism cuts across industries shameful.

It sadly happens in many industries. Women are paid less, but women of color are paid the least.
